Everyone! We have had students as young as 7 all the way up to students in their 70’s. The Level 1 Certification will give you the knowledge and experience to build a foundation for your personal mace practice as well as set you up to coach others successfully.

What To Bring

We highly recommend bringing snacks/drinks to keep yourself energized for the duration of the certification. We will make time for a lunch break and will be serving up Strong Coffee Lattes as well!

The primary intention of this certification is to provide you with a thorough education on how to effectively perform the steps and movements of SMF™️, successfully coach others through the program, and how to use the Flow Builder System and incorporate it into your fitness regimen.

During the length of this certification, we will emphasize the use of structure-specific to SMF™️, demonstrate and explain the benefits of total body engagement, with and without the mace in hands, as well as the application of hand transitions and mace sequencing to perform smooth dynamic and effective transitions. By the end of this Level One Certification, you will be able to perform and instruct others on the Level 1 Content in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of why SMF™️ is beneficiary to all skill levels of fitness and the results that can be anticipated depending on the degree of application towards the program.

The inspiration for the Level One Certification comes from our love for the mace and recognizing the need to build a structural and sound platform to educate, strengthen and empower those who flow so that they receive the education and support they deserve on top of instilling the basic movement patterns and conditioning it takes in order to advance to Level Two certification.

The SMF™️ team does not take credit for inventing any of the structures, movements or the concept of Flow State in this Level 1 Certification. The use of these movements and the mace itself have been utilized in many different practices for many years. While there are visual similarities, the specific SMF™️ elements and the way we apply and teach are different. The creation of this certification comes from the combination of Leo’s background in martial arts and his education in the fitness industry.

We encourage you to utilize the knowledge provided to the fullest extent and make it “your own.” We look forward to seeing your work and your application of structure, safety, and strength. You will always find a safe space for creativity and growth within “The Savage.”
